Well just as an update it's been just over a week since Forsaken and the game (which I already loved) has gotten exponentially better.

I never played Destiny 1 but it sounds like everyone who loved the first but was disappointed with the 2nd are saying it has returned to greatness. To me the expansion is like a Destiny 3 almost. Can't believe how much fun it is to me.

It's the Destiny Cycle™.

Destiny 1 was fairly mediocre at launch, but it was saved with its first major expansion, The Taken King.

Destiny 2 was also mediocre at launch, but now it's been saved by (*drumroll*) its first major expansion, Forsaken. Crazy, right?

I'm a huge fan of the series, but it's hard to defend sometimes. That being said, I'm still enjoying Forsaken despite some of its flaws. I'm also looking forward to seeing the new raid tomorrow!

I think I have benefitted from never having played Destiny 1, and going into Destiny 2 with zero expectations (and getting the game at a super reduced price) so I was pleasantly surprised. Now with Forsaken I am blown away. I am having so much fun, Gambit is the best online mode ever.

Nobody banks their motes and there's a ridiculous amount of people who die to mobs or fall off a ledge somewhere...

I've been fortunate to find about 5 guys at my work who play so I am almost always with someone I know. And with the right communication we can always carry the team. The few times I played solo I found the same thing you do. Teammates just get greedy and end up dying.
